Rejected petition Stop smoking outside of schools!!!

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

We can't accept your petition because this is something that would be the responsibility of schools and local authorities in the North East and not the UK Government or Parliament.

You can find out more on the law on smoking in public places here:

You could sign this petition to ban smoking outside designated areas if that is something you would like to see happen:
